Default Any other Alby Mangles fans out there??

Admitidly, im an avid Alby fan - my girlfriend hates him.

For you people who think im talking about a hip hop artist or something, ill just clear things up.
Alby is an Australian Adventurer 20 yrs before Steve Irwin was a house hold name he out sold Star Wars in the box office by showing World Safari I.
He Left Adelaide with only $400 a motor bike and a camera. He set off around the world for 6 years and came back with only 6 hours of footage.
Since then he made another 2 world safari movies and other documantaries. But after making World Safari III the critics hit him hard and he ended up bankrupt.

I like his documantaries coz he brings out all your emotions while you learn about the world. but most of the time im laughing my eyes out.

You just dont know wheather he is serious or not and he catches up with heaps of "old Flames" everywhere he goes!
*In one scene he is literally sanding back a big block of wood then the next scene he is oiling sails on a massive yacht that he apparently made which he sails around the world - it ends up burning and sinking with his opals he apparenlty spent 2 weeks underground mining for with his mate who has dynamite experience.
*When he is in new zealand he flies a plane and spots a comby van full of girls stranded on the side of the road, so he lands the plane in the paddock next to them and gives em a lift to the nearest road house.. leaving the guy they were driving with behind waving his arms madly.
*He races a horse at an outback aborigional community and wins but every one is angry as they all lost money as 'no one' beats the elder. So they put him in the back of a paddy wagon for his own safety but even the cop put money on the elder so he does not know if he will get out. So anyway he decides to race again the next day to keep every one happy. BUT he wins again!! but thats ok, coz every one put money on him this time! haha
*But one of the sadder moments is when Alby rolls his car killing a girl he was travelling with and he sends his dog Sam back to his dads farm while he recovers but after Alby recovers he returns to the farm to discover Sam had been shot. His dad said "you should have seen the size of the exit wound!".

I could go on forever about this guy and his adventures.

Anybody else remember this guy?
